Tips:

  • Use fresh crab meat. Fresh crab meat has a sweeter, more delicate flavor than frozen crab meat. If you can't find fresh crab meat, frozen crab meat is a good substitute.
  • Drain the crab meat well before using. Excess moisture will make the crab cakes mushy.
  • Use a light touch when mixing the crab cakes. Overmixing will make the crab cakes tough.
  • Gently fry the crab cakes over medium heat. This will help them cook evenly without burning.
  • Serve the crab cakes immediately with your favorite dipping sauce.

Conclusion:

These Far East crab cakes are a delicious and easy-to-make appetizer or main course. They're perfect for a party or a weeknight meal. With their unique blend of Asian flavors, these crab cakes are sure to be a hit with your family and friends.
